Awarded Best of Zola
Alex is a phenomenal photographer. We found him by luck online, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. Planning the details of a wedding can get very stressful. Alex did various check ups throughout the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, whether that be a zoom call, phone call, or text. This helped us stay on track with planning. On top of that, his questionnaire was very thorough and detailed. He really got to know my husband and I, and with the questionnaire he was able to capture what we wanted. Our wedding day did not go exactly as planned. It was a bit chaotic, and we were a little behind on our timeline. Alex was able to adapt and be flexible, but made sure to keep us on schedule. He went above and beyond with his customer service, and if my husband and I were to pick one of our vendors we were happiest with, Alex would be it. His photos and videos were well received by all our family and we are grateful that we have those physical memories to cherish.

Nam Tatum is a travel documentary & editorial wedding photographer, dedicated to capturing love in its rawest, most unfiltered form. From Thailand, she moved to the U.S. at nine and spent seven years in the Marines before turning her lifelong passion into a full-time career. Now, amidst the beautiful chaos of life with two teenagers, a husband, and the world’s cutest dog, she thrives on the magic of real, unscripted moments. For Nam, it isn’t about staged perfection—it’s about storytelling. Her approach is intuitive and deeply intentional, ensuring that every couple’s love story is captured exactly as it unfolds—bold & fearless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even start? From the planning of the engagement session to the execution of our wedding day photography, Nam was so fun, helpful, encouraging, and professional. She made all of our dreams come true with every picture and has made memories that we will cherish forever. Nam’s laidback fun personality made both my husband and I feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera even though neither one of us are big fans of having our picture taken. She captured us in a way that showed our love in every picture, and it never felt like unnatural or like a photoshoot. She has a way of making people feel seen, and her pictures show that. If you want to always remember the way you *feel*, I would highly recommend Nam. She captures heart on film, and we feel so lucky to have that memorialized forever!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. I started my professional career in Boulder, Colorado, riding on the backs of motorcycles, chasing professional cyclists through winding roads and epic climbs. I never thought I would find another career as exhilarating and rewarding but I was wrong. I photographed weddings in Colorado, but it wasn’t until moving East, to Charlottesville, Virginia, that I fell in love with them. I love all of the beauty of the flowers and the pretty clothing, but what I love most is documenting the love between the two of you, and the complete joy of your best day ever. We celebrate all couples!

Beth is absolutely wonderful! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, every single picture is beautiful. Not only is Beth an amazing photographer, she is an amazing person! We enjoyed getting to know her and she will be a lifelong friend. We will remember our wedding forever thanks to her photography.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

I have the coolest job in the world: I create emotional time capsules for my couples (and hopefully you too). That way, you get to be fully present on your wedding day and you get to relive that day over and over again with the same intensity, joy and love. My not-so-secret sauce is this: I get to know you. I find out what makes you and your lover tick, and then, I craft a visual story that's reflective of you. My utmost goal is to create joyful imagery for folks who want things documented exactly as they felt.

There are only good things to say about working with Maggie! We booked her for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day. During the engagement session, she captured some true gems by helping us stay comfortable and true to ourselves. Leading up to our wedding day she was communicative, made sure she understood what our vision/priorities were, and worked well with our planner. On our wedding day, she was so fun to work with, got some beautiful shots of the big moments, and some incredible shots of little ones, too. Even just in our sneak peaks from our wedding, there are so many lovely candids amidst well-placed staged family/couple shots. She has great vision and good ideas and is fun to be around for the process! Regardless, her work speaks for itself. We highly recommend booking Maggie for your engagement and wedding photos!!
